Answer:

(a) 8:11

(b) 3:8

Explanation:

(a)

The problem asks for the number of used books to all the books on the shelf. We know that there are 11 books, and 3 of them are new. You, we can do 11 - 3 = x to get the number of used books.

11 - 3 = 8

Therefore, the ratio of the number of used books to all the books on the shelf is 8:11

(b)

The problem asks for the number of new books to the number of used books. We know from the last problem that there are 3 new books, and 8 used books.

Therefore, the ratio of new books to the number of used books is 3:8

Hope this helps!
